Online Reading - The Free Options!

Look on the bright side -
if we were at school today
you might have to look at this!


Looking on the bright side . . .  

Many companies that normally charge a subscription are offering free materials and resources to students because school is closed. This is a great opportunity to try out products without having to sign up. I am posting resources as I find them in this PADLET, but here are just a few you might want to try today.

Do you Like Listening to Books Better Than Reading Them?

Audible Stories  has posted a collection of stories to use as long as schools are closed. Stories can be streamed from your desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet. There are 40 books for Tweens and 66 books for teens (young adults). Several titles have already caught my eye. Try it out and let me know what you think! (This is a version of AUDIBLE that is free - Audible still charges, but Audible Stories is free!)

How About a Magazine?

Scholastic Learn From Home is a free online version of the Scholastic magazines we have used at school in the print form. It has a section specifically for grades 6-9, and TODAY they are sponsoring a book fest where you can participate with Lauren Tarshis, the author of the I SURVIVED Series.

Try one TODAY!
